The mentioned log data are only evaluated anonymously.
To protect your data from unwanted access as comprehensively as possible, we implement technical and organizational measures. We use an encryption process on our websites. Your data is transmitted from your computer to our server and back over the Internet using TLS encryption. You can usually recognize this by the fact that the lock icon in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line begins with https://.
We use cookies on our websites that are necessary for the use of our websites.
Cookies are small text files that can be stored and read on your device. There are session cookies, which are deleted once you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond a single session.
We do not use these required cookies for analysis, tracking, or advertising purposes.
Some of these cookies only contain information about certain settings and are not personal. They may also be necessary to enable user navigation, security, and implementation of the site.
We use these cookies based on Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.
You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you. You can also delete cookies at any time via the appropriate browser setting and prevent the setting of new cookies. Please note that our websites may not be displayed and some functions may no longer be technically available.
To design our websites according to needs, we use the web analysis tool “Google Analytics”. Google Analytics creates usage profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your device and read by us. This enables us to recognize and count returning visitors.
As part of Google Analytics, we are supported by Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC. (USA) as processors according to Art. 28 GDPR. Therefore, data processing may also take place outside the EU or EEA. Regarding Google LLC, due to processing in the USA, an adequate level of data protection cannot be assumed. There is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without informing you or being able to take legal action. Please consider this when deciding to give your consent to our use of Google Analytics.
Data processing is based on your consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR or § 15 Para. 3 S. 1 TMG, if you have given your consent via our banner. The transfer to a third country is based on Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
You can revoke your consent at any time. Please follow this link and make the appropriate settings via our banner.
We use cross-device tracking technologies to display targeted advertising on other websites based on your visit to our websites and to assess the effectiveness of our advertising measures.
Data processing is based on your consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR or § 15 Para. 3 S. 1 TMG, if you have given your consent via our banner. Your consent is voluntary and can be revoked at any time.

How does tracking work?
When you visit our websites, the third-party providers listed below may retrieve recognition features for your browser or device (e.g., a so-called browser fingerprint), evaluate your IP address, store or read recognition features on your device (e.g., cookies), or gain access to individual tracking pixels.
The third parties can use these features to recognize your device on other websites. We can commission these third parties to place advertisements based on the pages you visited on our site.
What does cross-device tracking mean?
If you log in to the third-party provider with your own user data, the respective recognition features of different browsers and devices can be linked. Thus, if the third-party provider has created a unique feature for the laptop, desktop PC, smartphone, or tablet you use, these individual features can be associated with each other once you use a service of the third-party provider with your login data. This allows the third-party provider to target our advertising campaigns across different devices.
Which third-party providers do we use in this context?
Below we list the third-party providers with whom we cooperate for advertising purposes. If data is processed outside the EU or EEA in this context, please note the risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without informing you or allowing you to take legal action. If we use providers in insecure third countries and you consent, the transfer to a third country takes place based on Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

We use this data based on Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR to respond to your inquiry.
Your data will only be processed to respond to your inquiry. We delete your data if it is no longer necessary and there are no legal retention obligations.

On our websites, we embed videos that are not stored on our servers. To ensure that accessing our web pages with embedded videos does not automatically lead to the downloading of third-party content, in a first step, we only display locally stored preview images of the videos. This way, the third-party provider does not receive any information. Only after clicking on the preview image, are the contents of the third-party provider downloaded. By doing this, the third-party provider receives information that you have visited our site as well as the technically necessary usage data in this context. Furthermore, the third-party provider is then able to implement tracking technologies. We have no control over the further data processing by the third-party provider. By clicking on the preview image, you give us consent to download content from the third-party provider.
The embedding is based on your consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR, provided you have given your consent by clicking on the preview image. Please note that embedding many videos means that your data may be processed outside the EU or the EEA. In some countries, there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without informing you or allowing you to take legal action. If we use providers in insecure third countries and you consent, the transfer to an insecure third country takes place based on Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

If you have clicked on a preview image, the contents of the third-party provider are immediately downloaded. If you do not wish such downloading on other pages, please do not click on the preview images anymore.
Unless we have already informed you in detail about the storage duration, we delete personal data when it is no longer necessary for the aforementioned processing purposes and no legal retention obligations prevent deletion.
